We support local people in some of the poorest countries in the world with training in adult literacy, microfinance, business development and trauma healing. We train and support small business entrepreneurs in some of the world's lowest income countries. Five Talents empowers the poor in developing countries by helping them learn to read and write in their mother tongue, and to start and grow their own small businesses. As a faith-based organization, our vision is to eradicate extreme poverty by restoring human dignity and creating strong, sustainable communities. Working closely with local partners, Five Talents uses a proven model that helps families and communities learn to budget, save, invest, develop, and grow small businesses. Since 1998 we have worked in some of the poorest and most overlooked areas of the world, developing savings groups and community banks, and providing financial literacy and business skills training. When you partner with Five Talents, you offer hope and opportunity to the world's most vulnerable poor.
